Piyush (Gujarati Yogurt Drink)

Today I have a creamy and delicious dessert perfect for the summer. It is Gujarati version of lassi and is made with Shrikhand. Initially I had a savory dish planned for P, but then I saw this Piyush recipe on Tarla Dalal.com and since I already had Kesar Shrikhand in the fridge, I made it right away. Also with the sweltering summer heat in India, this is a perfect cooling drink.

Piyush is nothing but jazzed up version of shrikhand. It is mixed with more yogurt (or buttermilk) and thinned out with milk, then flavored with spices. This was one of the easiest and one of the yummiest yogurt based desserts I’ve ever made. Since I was the only having this at home, I thoroughly enjoyed making and drinking this creamy and rich Piyush.

Oh wow that’s stunning pictures and what a delicious dessert pavani…I love Shrikhand and make it quite often…never went further to make this dish…For a moment I read it as payesh and wondered about it..:)

Reading the title, I confused piyush with Bengali dessert and wondered why you are posting a Bengali dish this week. Beautiful pictures, specially the action shot. Drink looks very flavorful and delicious
